When was the last time you asked students questions like…
What do you really want teachers to know about you?
What would you say to your teachers if you knew they would listen without judgement?
What can I do in this classroom this year to help decrease your frustration and increase your engagement.
Yes, kids want things like snacks, snapchat, and to sleep in class.
But kids actually want WAY different things then that too and their results to these questions are surprisingly reasonable.
In this week’s episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I give you all the details of a transparent conversation I had with my students that totally worked.
It is easy to replicate and once you have the roadmap, I promise it will create positive momentum for the rest of the school year.

Spoiler alert: I am sharing an idea that has created a MAJOR decrease in classroom issues.
The term “classroom management” is thrown around a lot.
We had whole classes dedicated to it in undergrad.
Our principals talk about it in our evaluations.
And these days some teachers are even saying we need to “ditch it.”
Some educators believe that classroom management “isn’t needed” if we just have classroom respect.
What do you think?
Well, in this episode I give my 2 cents on classroom management AND dish out my all time FAVORITE idea on how I manage my own students.
And all you need is a deck of cards.

How long does it take you to plan for an entire school year’s worth of curriculum?
If your answer is longer than 1-hour, then I have a simple, strategic system for you!
